WPHT off the air? According to Radio Locator

WPHT-AM 1210 kHz - Philadelphia, PA

Radio Station Information for WPHT 1210 kHz AM, Philadelphia, PA

radio-locator.com

I found this a bit strange. I noticed this last night when I looked up radio stations in the Philly area and noticed it skipped over 1210.

This isn't necessarily a Radio-Locator goof. @Michi 's FCCData.org also shows WPHT is licensed and silent.

Audacy filed MDCL notifications for several of their AMs (including WPHT). Perhaps that filing triggered something in the system.

That would be correct. As much as I will be the first to knock Radio-Locator for poor data usage, this is an LMS database issue.

It's likely that. 1010 WINS and 660 WFAN from New York are missing from Radio Locator

A bunch of the Audacy stations that filed MDCL applications are now shown as “licensed and silent” on FCCData.org.

According to this morning's FCC LMS raw data dump, it's showing as silent. However, the LMS public search shows that it is licensed (LICEN). We'll need to check tomorrow's data dump in case this was changed today.

That was never in question.

WPHT is now showing as licensed and not silent in FCCdata.org therefore it is now reflecting correctly in the FCC raw data.

WBBM Chicago, KCBS San Francisco and KMOX St. Louis also showed as "LICSL" in that same data extract. (But interestingly, WHSQ --the former WCBS/880-- did not.) Apparently they're all fixed today, if I'm to believe Radio-Locator gets a refresh each day from this extract.

WPHT is on Radio Locator now.
